Definitive Map and Statement

At the core of the Public Rights of Way Team’s work are two documents called the Definitive Map and the Definitive Statement (collectively known as the DM&S). The DM&S provides conclusive legal proof of the existence of a public right of way. The Authority is responsible for keeping the DM&S up-to-date and correcting any errors or omissions by means of Definitive Map Modification Orders.

The Definitive Map and Statement are available for inspection by appointment at the Council's Civic Centre offices in Keynsham. Online mapping is available by following the above link but it should be noted that this online mapping is not a legal record of rights of way.
